Libby's Story

Unlike many rescues, Champlain Valley Canine Rescue will take in mother dogs with their litters and will take pregnant dogs and keep them until their puppies are ready to go to permanent homes. Lady (about 1 year old) came to us from a high kill shelter in South Carolina. She came with 9 puppies, about 5 weeks old that we think are Border Collie / Australian Shepherd mixes.

When this small family first appeared off the transport in Vermont, Tammy and I stood looking at the sad scene and discussed how many we would be able to keep alive; they were in very bad condition. Mom and pops were emaciated, flea bitten, Mom had hair loss and all showed every vertebra and rib! I set them up in a large kennel area with a fenced outdoor access to grass. I started feeding Lady Libby carefully. >>> Find Out What Happens to Libby and Her Pups
